Semantic layer
A critical component in data analytics that manages relationships between various data attributes to create a simplified and unified business view. This layer abstracts the complexity of underlying data structures, providing a user-friendly interface for querying and deriving insights, allowing business users to interact with data using common business terms rather than technical database jargon. It is particularly beneficial for business users who need to generate reports and perform analysis quickly and cost-effectively, ensuring consistency in data interpretation and maintaining data integrity across different business intelligence tools and platforms.
